Convert DOC (Word) to MKDN

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

An MKDN (Markdown Documentation) file extension is utilized primarily for creating structured text documents using Markdown language, which is a lightweight markup language. This language simplifies the process of formatting text, converting it into HTML, and enhancing readability with plain text formatting syntaxes. MKDN files are highly favored for documentation in software development, due to their ability to seamlessly integrate with various tools and platforms, providing an efficient way to maintain and share documentation.
